Surfing The Web So You Don't Have To
Have a bunch of YouTube videos sitting in my inbox here, so I figured I’d just dump them all at once:

Enjoy!
Were you in downtown Bend at approximately 8:45PM on 4/28? There was a hit-and-run accident near the Greenwood Laundromat on 8th street, involving three folks who had already had some serious tragedy just a couple days earlier. Read the full (and very sad) story here about some folks who are having some seriously rotten luck and how you can help.
Found via this link on Bend Blogs.
It appears that KFXO is trying (not a very good attempt, really) to actually get some news content on their site. Because of the poor coding on the articles pages, the RSS feed URL is shown in just plain text. The feed is pretty minimal — headlines and links to story, but it’s a start.
So here’s the feeds that I know exist for local media outlets:
Now if we could just get feeds from The Source and Cascade Business News (and official support from The Bulletin), then that would make life much easier for those of us too lazy to browse the Web.
Are there any other local feeds that should be added to this list or to BendBlogs? Comment here.
I’m not reall a religious guy (this isn’t the place to debate that), but I do think these maps are fascinating.
Yet another Google service for folks to play with. Link via SEW, which goes into a far more detailed review of it.
A fairly comprehensive review and comparison of feminine hygiene products (don’t worry, no graphic pictures, just scientific experimentation).
There have been folks out there that have tried their butt off (and some have succeeded) in getting Windows XP to boot on the new Intel-based Macs. But now Apple’s going to make it far easier by providing step-by-step directions and software to do it.
I certainly don’t know the whole story to this, but either KTVZ thinks they own the rights to Bob Shaw‘s likeness (which they might by contract, but satirical cartoons of public figures, even if it is for profit, is protected speech, as far as I know — it’s been a while since I’ve studied this kind of law), or they are claiming they own the rights to “Have a Sparkling day.” Either way, there’s one less t-shirt available to buy.
There are some wonderful memories on this list including Nintendo’s decision to dump the Playstation, the Hot Coffee mod, the enormous Xbox controller, and more.
